Is this chair good for sitting cross-legged doing yoga while supporting your back?

Yes, I think it would work great for yoga. We have used it sitting on the ground and it is perfect!

Yes it is. It can help support your back if you have trouble maintaining the posture without support. But I would like to add that when i sit on this chair, I can feel the metal frame to some degree through the cushioning and this takes away from the comfort it provides. It is not painful or anything... but rather a hindrance for sitting on it for a long periods of time.

I would have to say absolutely. The chair is quite large and could easily accommodate someone sitting cross legged. The backrest of the chair also has three angle positions so you can sit more upright if you want or recline further back if you prefer!

yes, I would think so. it will sit fairly flat to the floor or ground and the back adjusts to you

Absolutely. It is great for back, neck, knees etc. sometimes I but it on my lower back while I take a walk and it feels really good.

Yes, the back has some flex. It does not "recline" like a lazy boy, but is definitely the most comfortable chair I have used.

I find it to be very sturdy. It does not lean back as an office chair would but it is not meant to. Its purpose is to provide support for your back which it does very well. One of the best purchases I have ever made for my drumming and bad back.

No. This is a light folding chair. Leaning on it to stand up is a bad idea.

Not that I know of. I usually sit cross legged in this chair and it's wonderfully comfortable.

Maybe? I think it would depend on how long your legs are and how far back or forward you're sitting in the chair. I've sat cross legged in the chair and haven't had any problems

That's kinda like asking "How long is a piece of string"? I have back issues and find this chair very comfortable, but I'm only using it for meditation practice. I'm only sitting for about a half hour. Your comfort level will vary depending on length of time you sit and any physical limitations you might have. By all means use a chair if you think you need one.

The chair is very firm. It is good for my back. I would have preferred the seat to be softer, but it is ok. It is important to have your hips and knees at a 90 degree angle to relieve stress on the back.

i am finding i am able to do most activities, BUT I'm NOT SURE about supporting your body weight on certain poses or positions during yoga while wearing the widget.i do find i am able to lift and carry objects, like cartons of milk and similar weight, or turn the car steering wheel, or open objects, much more comfortably while wearing it. widget.

Technically yes. I wouldn't as the arms do provide support for the back. Great chair. It's holding up to my 320 lb son who can destroy anything. Best Regards

I think so. I was able to do a very active yoga practice on it and it stayed in place.

This chair was a gift for my daughter-in-law. I did sit in it and it is very comfortable. It's hard to comment on the support for someone else, especially with a bad back. It is more comfortable then others of the same style. The back did not seem stiff, but softer. Hope this helps!

No...it's actually very comfortable and you don't feel anything pressing up against you. At the same time, I'm not that tall (5'2-1/2") so I don't have that much of my back unsupported. Hope that helps!

I think it has good back support. We use it as a conference table chair and our clients like them. I'm not sure how supportive it would be for an all day type of desk/work chair.

Since the seat is wider than most it should provide more support. Not sure if this extra support helps a back problem. however.I would check with your doctor.

I don't use mine for yoga, but I suspect you could. It all depends on the class, I guess. I use mine to loosen up tight muscles in my back and it works very well for that.
